[QUOTE="jebel, post: 1655099, member: 106189"] There has been discussion on the forum about seating depth and whether or not finding the right depth is a matter of barrel harmonics, or a different and unrelated set of factors. This question is in that ballpark. I have a rifle (6 Creedmoor) for which I ran a seating depth test. I did not run meaningful powder charge tests. I am now in the process of cutting down the barrel length. Would you expect the original seating depth results to still hold true in the shorter barrel, or is that data now garbage? I don't know the answer, though will find out eventually. I'm asking so as to save myself the trouble of a new seating depth test, if one of you fine folks has been in my shoes. Either way, it may shed some light on the question of what drives seating depth preference for a given bullet/load. [/QUOTE]
